Logos[]
1st logo[]
(February 5, 1995): The camera zooms in towards a red raft with a man and a woman in the ocean in the daytime with the shining sun and its reflection in the water. The screen then moves in an aerial view of the boat and rotates. As it eases in, two sharks move toward the raft and swim by it. The man is dark-skinned and wearing a black scuba suit and the woman resembles Cammy from the Street Fighter series. The screen then cutss to a close-up of the woman's arm dangling off the boat. As it bounces, the two shark fins go by. It then goes to a front shot of the boat, where one of the sharks rises up and takes a bite, then going to the water with swirling blood, which the shark swims by that. Now in the water, with shimmering lights, the woman's severed arm floats downward off-screen. The words "DEEP WATER" rise from the bottom and rest. The shark then appears from the bottom and goes off-screen to the left, then comes back and stops above the company name while a trademark appears. The shark and company name turn into silhouettes.
2nd logo[]
(October 27, 1997): On a white background, there is a square with red bordering containing a black and blue gradient water background with a silhouette of a shark. Below the shark, there is "DEEP WATER" in white text (in the same style as the previous logo, except the shark is now staring at the upper-right side of the logo). A black trademark symbol is next to the square.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
A low synth tune which then goes into an ominous piano ditty that sounds very similar to the USA boss theme from Sonic CD when the sharks appear. As they attack, the woman screams and water splashes. It then goes back to the synth theme, with a whoosh when the company name appears. When the shark swims above the name, another whoosh is heard and when they turn into silhouettes, it ends with a sound of lightning.
2nd logo[]
None.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Medium to nightmare. This logo is extremely graphic, especially the shark attack. The man and the woman being murdered is extremely inappropriate and creepy to be shown on a video game, and the woman screaming doesn't help either. Despite this however, the outdated graphics could make the logo seem much cheesier and take away from the horror. Also, considering the material they released, this is a very fitting logo. It can get even scarier if one excepted the iconic Sega logo, But got this one instead.
2nd logo[]
None to low. This is much tamer then the previous logo.
Trivia[]
- This logo is possibly a parody off of the 1974 novel Jaws by Peter Benchley as well as its 1975 film adaptation by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
